This spiced blueberry bundt cake is like a mashup of a blueberry muffin and a cinnamon swirl bundt cake. I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert! Spiced blueberry bundt cake is actually something I made/developed in probably 2021, and then misplaced the recipe I had written down. Two moves and three states later…
Raspberry tiramisu is a sweet and summery version of the classic, without eggs but creamy and full of tart and bright raspberry flavor. I had never experienced tiramisu until well into adulthood. I honestly didn’t have a desire to try it because I knew it was a coffee based dessert and I am not a…
This orange cardamom loaf is somewhere between bread and cake, but full of sweet, floral cardamom and fresh orange. It’s so so good. I love a good quick bread loaf. Don’t get me wrong, yeasted rolls are probably my one true love – but something that come together quickly and easily be either a snack…
This black velvet snack cake is a single layer small cake that is both easy to bake up, and richly decadent. It’s also perfect for when you are thinking maybe red velvet sounds good, but honestly want something better. It’s topped with a whipped mascarpone frosting and by the end you’ll be wishing the cake…
These cookies and cream cupcakes are two things, easy and delicious. They use a box mix that’s zhushed up, and a from scratch frosting. This is the type of cupcake to make when your kid forgets and you have to bake them that day or the night before. You will get way more credit than…
Caramel apples to me seem sort of like a summer thing, but I think most people think of them as a fall flavor. Apple definitely is, and caramel I think is both fall and all season. However, this caramel apple cake feels very cozy and fall like. To get a strong apple flavor, I used…
You know what makes these raspberries and cream cupcakes easy? They start with a box mix. Yes, even people who bake things from scratch use box mixes sometimes. I used to have people order my doctored up box mix cupcakes from me, knowing they were not completely scratch. Save yourself some time and headache, I…
This maple brown butter Bundt cake is tender and toasty flavors that will make you want to have a slice of cake every hour of the day. Bundt cake isn’t something I grew up eating. Not just because I’m not a cake person either! Bundt cakes are their own thing. You don’t want to make…
Tiramisu is an Italian dessert made of ladyfingers soaked in espresso and alcohol layered with an mascarpone cream mixture. Personally, I never tried it until I was an adult and making one for a friend. Despite not being a coffee lover, I found it tasty. I was already brainstorming to come up with some variation…
When you think of cheesecake, I’m sure you think of a standard cream cheese cheesecake. They are delicious and the usual variety. I myself have several cream cheese cheesecake recipes on my site. This cheesecake though.. well it’s special. This is a mascarpone cheesecake with a cherry topping. A Rainier cherry topping at that. Mascarpone…
This orange cream pound cake is a dream. Orange cream is a very nostalgic flavor to me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s also just straight up delicious. Orange was my favorite flavor popsicle, koolaid, whatever it may be growing up. I always picked a creamsicle when the ice cream truck rolled through. I love vanilla…
If there is one thing that makes people think the unofficial start of fall is here, it’s the unveiling of the pumpkin spice flavors. The Starbucks latte, the coffee creamers and cakes. These pumpkin spice cupcakes. Maybe not the last one, but it just might start being in that lineup for you and your family…
